Riku

[coolazice7]

At KHU, they updated today and put some promos on the site. Well, I bet most everyone has already seen these posters, etc, but in the second pic, the poster has been targeted in on the bottom left. It shows a mysterious young man... maybe it is Riku. It's probably not the Enigmatic Man (Square doesnt want us to see his face) and it isnt the BHK (because he is already on the poster, in a different place). So what do you guys think about it? Could it be Riku?

It is so strange that you are just noticing this. Yes..It could very well be Riku...

 

[coolazice7]

Well, I have noticed before (everyone probably has), but I was just thinking about it now that we had a closer, clearer photo of him. And yes, it could be EM, but I just thought it looked kiinda like riku.

 

[Einon SAMA]

I understand...I woldnt be surprised if it werent him at all. I mean...he's more of a main character than EM is. So...Im actually hoping that it is Riku. I'd feel bad for him if they just left him off of the cover...IF thats the cover though. But, we might actually NEVER know.. heh...kinda weired. Oh...I appreciate the upclose... Im quite positive it is Riku. So...yea...I think you are right.

 

[Faith Crest]

It's definitely Riku.

 

[fantasygurl1227]

i hope its riku, because we havn't heard anything about riku, and if thats the cover riku needs to be on it so yeah think its him too

 

[moogles]

It probably is Riku, at least I hope it is.

I posted something like this and got flammed....but I think it's Riku because Riku isn't anywhere on the poster, but is one of the main Characters.... so it might be him...

 

[var1ables]

yeah... i think that too because well. the em has no face

 

[nothingness]

yeah... i think that too because well. the em has no face

actually the EM does have a face, when your fighting him, in the beginning video it shows his head turned (kinida confusing but..) and you can see the outline of his face like his nose and that stuff but its all black. and yes that is 99.99999% riku, but his face looks different. but the nose of this guy is the same shape of the EM's nose, pointy....

 

[var1ables]

wow.. i missed on thing..... damn it

yeah i think it is riku because why would they show the guy that you will ulitimately fight at the end... or something like that

 

[nothingness]

i dont get it, why does everyone treat the EM as like "the final boss" or the superior. to me hes like vexen, cause he is testing soras powers, just eveyone did in CoM. they just didnt show his face in final mix cause it wouldnt have been such a good lead to CoM. i dont know, i think that sometimes

It could be Riku. It's hard to tell because you can't see his hair.

 

[Cloudy_Card]

it might not be, according to the s-e party trailer summaries, riku has a blindfold on. but it still could be riku even though it doesnt look like him.

My analysis, anyone agree?

 

[_Riku_]

hey- that could definitely be Riku... anyone of those unknowns could be Riku... lol, this whole KH2 plot mystery is getting real tough- I can barely keep up...

omg muffinman, that makes soo much sense though- ur good

 

[iholdthekeys]

even if it is riku i would dislike the idea that the poster could actually be the cover for the game.... i honestly would like to see riku on the cover...... he was on the cover for kingdom hearts and chain of memories so i c no reason why he can't be on the cover in the 2nd one...... unless they have that picture in front but when you open up the box the intrstruction manual has the same picture except with his hood down........ otherwise i'll be kinda mad that riku seems 2 b pushed out of the picture as if he was not an important character

Wow TMM you did your work. Awesome analysis. This picture might also help your point.

^The unknown from Land of Dragons. Supposidly it's Riku because

1. Nomura stated that Land of Dragons will be most important to the storyline
2. An unknown with a souleater has been seen in a trailer there.
3. A screenshot below of Sora in Land of dragons mentions Riku.
